Fantastic benfal!
What style is it? Kung fu is very broad as there are varied styles.
link to the school if you like!The style i did (Praying Mantis - northern seven star) for a few years is extremely effective is term of self defense. It was incredibly safe, no nonsense stuff. There are some not so good less effective kung fu styles though. I also did kick boxing for a year and enjoyed it a lot.
To those saying "they dont do kung fu in mma". I imagine they dont do kung fu or krav maga in MMA, because MMA, kick boxing etc are sports and kung fu, krav maga etc are self defense martial arts. MMA fighters don't practice permanent damage strikes, in MMA they don't allow groin kicks, eye jabs, throat strikes, fast limb breaks, eye gouging, etc etc.
Stuff like Krav Maga and Kung fu (the good kung fu styles) are incredibly good for street fighting and self defense, i think more effective than kick boxing, boxing mma etc.
I think the use of gloves in kickboxing and boxing makes them less effective styles in street fighting as you don't have gloves on in street fights, which means you have less protection when guarding and it means you might not use your hands like you could in terms of grabbing and trapping opponents strikes etc.
But regardless of comparing they are all very good and very fun! enjoy dude! :D

- thanks Hombre! :Dbenfal99
- I said kick boxing, but even though it was called a kick boxing place it was really Thai boxing. No silly kick box rules.Hombre_Lobo
- Thanks benfal! It doesn't explicit say what style or what lineage the kung fu, which is slightly discouraging, butHombre_Lobo
- The videos look ok, but hard to get a measure on them. But regardless you should go and enjoy it, see if u like it! :DHombre_Lobo
